the fake out. haha.

and the real thing.









such a lovely wedding and family. i'm so glad we got to be a part of their day. i can't wait to work with them again. we (mario and i) had so much fun!

miniature golf birthday party

our friend skyler always has the best birthday parties! we're so lucky we always get invited. 2 years ago it was an awesome go diego go party, last year was breakfast (and the kids got pancakes in the shape of letters) and this year, miniature golf!!

thanks for inviting us bud. i hope you had an awesome birthday.




and yes it is very hot here but you try and tell a 2.5 year old they don't need to wear a sweater.

Nash & Jane 50th

this is how i watch the mariachi also!

i love watching kids try to sit through church (it's much more fun then when you actually have to sit with kids at church)

50 years! can you believe being married for 50 years!!! i've made it 7 and thought i was doing good until i realized i'd have to go 43 MORE years to make it to 50. that's so awesome and this family is awesome. Jane has some 16 siblings (14 alive i think i heard) there were 8 (8!) sisters at the reception and 5 brothers!! there were a lot of grandchildren and great grandchildren. it was amazing!

there was also a lot, A LOT, of dancing.


a lot of really cute babies


a lot of really sweet moments (like this one; Nash & Jane after their "first dance")


a lot of funny moments (Nash stopping a picture that he wasn't in)


and a lot of fruit. seriously i'd show the pictures of the fruit tray but all the fruit is gone!!!


i love all the new people i've been able to meet recently from taking pictures. and i'd like to thank michelle, her parents, siblings, and the rest of her family, for letting me hang out with them so often these past few months.

Families are Forever

i'm gettin' me one of these.

baby girl that is. we just found out today. and i'm so excited. then i came home and finished up the ray's pictures with their 1 year old baby and now i'm even more excited. how cute are these kids?! and just like us older brother then 2 sisters (only ours are a little more spaced out)

To the best husband/father in the world

I love you!

Stephen & Ashley

from getting ready to the ceremony then the reception, i'm finally almost done editing pictures! (i still have the dance and photo booth, those will be fun).

i love looking back at pictures from weddings and remembering everything that happened. like forgetting the veil in the car and the panic of "i hope we didn't leave it at home", catching people when they don't know you're taking their picture and all the laughs and smiles.












stay tuned for the dancing and photo booth pictures. coming soon.
